1268. F. ovina, L. 
The only locality where I have found this species is near the ice- 
house, about a mile east of Hammond, Ind., on the dry banks of 
the Calumet river. The locality is evidently an old Indian resort, 
as attested by chips and arrow-heads of flint, teeth and bones of 
animals, and shells of mollusks, common northward. The species 
is not indigenous here. I have found it indigenous in cavities of 
rocks on the shores of Lake Superior, as at Marquette, Mich. 
Any little cup-shaped hollow where a handful of soil could gather, 
furnished a foothold for a small tuft of the grass, where it had for 
a companion, growing under the same conditions, another moun- 
tain grass, 3 to 8 inches high, Trisetum subspicatum, Beauv.
